Fun in a new game....

Games are fun to run. I wouldn't do them otherwise. But this new game is, oddly, more fun than most. Some of that, of course, is the sheeer newness, and the fact that it began a lot like UH (make stuff up as we go along). And it's working. There's moons, and pancakes (which WAS an entirely unconscious bit of stuff Chaos, but cool anyway :p) and the fate of the world mirroring (in some senses) the PCs family.

I think a lot of it is because there IS just one player, and just one character. Despite my best intentions families get pushed aside in games in favour of other plots, other events, and the fact that there is only so much time during a session. (It's one of the primary reasons AA will be the PCs all *as* the family, to avoid that pitfall, and of course to create awesome RP possibibilities :p). But MJ's family is ALIVE. There's plots, secrets, relatives, friends ... in greater depth than I yet know, and more real than in most games. I actually have TIME to devote to her family life, what's happening it it and her friends. It's a fun change, and a welcome enough.

Heck, it's enough of one that adding another player would take some doing, for me. I wouldn't want to lose what the game already has interaction-wise. Hmm. Well, the timing of the game makes another player unlikely anyway, so it may never come up.

Until then: "Godzila healed me!"
